3) Book on the History of Perspectives Course
Back in January we wrote about a new book, Propelled by Hope (https://brigada.org/2024/01/21_39854). The author, Yvonne Huneycutt, has interwoven the story of Perspectives with the history of missions over the last five decades! Did anyone read it? What are your thoughts? You can find the book here: https://missionbooks.org/products/propelled-by-hope.
4) Preparing Your Team for a Short-Term Trip
Is there a book you recommend to your short-term missions team before going on the trip? How about a book like Before You Go, a 40-Day Devotional to prepare the hearts of short-term missionaries for what only God knows is coming? This book can be found on CBD, Amazon or bulk/team orders at booksales@salemauthorservices.com. What book do you recommend? Please comment.
5) Missions Movies?
You have the opportunity to show a missions movie at a youth event. What movie would you show? Please comment!
6) Mission Mobilization Chats
Have you listened to the podcast by Global Mission Mobilization Initiative (GMMI)? Check out episode 44 where GMMI discusses two common negative stereotypes about the Great Commission and cross-cultural ministry that are widely held among believers and churches globally. Check it out at this link https://www.globalmmi.net/mission-mobilization-chats.
7) You Can Submit an Item to Brigada – For Free!
It’s easy. Just click to https://brigada.org/submit-an-item. Be sure to read the submission guidelines first. It’s ok to pitch in a gift toward Brigada’s budget if you like (and it’s true that pitching in helps bump up your item in the calendar and the order of appearance), but you really don’t have to do so. The money helps meet the budget, but the goal is the Great Commission.
8) A Podcasts Directory!
Have you checked out the missions-focused podcasts directory that Missio Nexus has put together? Check it out! Go to https://missionexus.org/podcasts/podcast-directory. What would you like to add to their list? Please comment.

10) Your Pick for the Ideal Connected Cross-Cultural Laptop?
Let’s suppose a teammate approaches you, asking for the best recommendation for a laptop scheduled to endure at least three years in the future. The teammate is going to travel and live cross-culturally, create video/audio content to report to supporters, and communicate via secure messaging platforms like Signal, Zoom, and Telegram. Your buddy wants to use work platforms like MS365 – and don’t forget — he wants to edit his own videos quickly (and they need to be suitable for megachurches, too – so … at least high-def, if not 4K). He will travel extensively, so durability, weight and size are key factors for him. Security is important too. He asks for your recommendation – and your first question is, “How much can you spend?” He says he’s received a gift from a donor. He’d like to stay under $3000 if possible. To see where we go with this question, click Read More. read more…
